The Nergal ruined it man. Could of gotten laid right then and there if that sum bitch didn't show up.

I know really? For a demonic symbiote he doesn't really think about the usual demon stuff. Like death,destruction, trying to take over the world ((Of Course!)) and, most importantly, spreading the family as much as possible. You'd think that would be priority number one for a nergal demon, after all Nergal loves his children.

I don't think the Him Virus has a different personality like the Nergal Symbiote does. I get the impression that it is more crude, and manifests the dark emotions of the bearer.

The way I always looked at it was that when Mimi becomes HER she takes on, not another personality but, another persona. In which she is cool and collected to control the dark powers she possesses. I do not think she is like Jr and has another personality talking inside her head but I do think that the transformation is more than just physical.

I can not remember who it was but someone called back to the conversation we had about what Minnie would look like as a demon (I think Sigment) and someone else speculated on how she would act (I think Blord). I personally think she would be calm and even act friendly and happy but quick to anger and bursts of white hot rage but just as quickly return to a calm. Just like a psychopath.

I'm not sure how Mimi likes them. All I know is that the transformation isn't enjoyable. After that merge I don't think there is a "Mimi" side and a "Her" side. I don't think she is internally going "eww" at some of the things. But that the Him Virus alters her enough. I do know she gains power from the seven deadly sins.

Agreed, which is why I'm refering to it as a virus now instead of a symbiote.

I don't think it has another personality, but that it is a raw, feral, animal-instinct-driven thing. It does form an alteration, but I don't thin it significantly changes the thought pattern of the host. I would say that it would amplify certain feelings and I would also suspect that you would have to have a good amount of will power to control it. I don't think Minnie has the correct controls if she and the virus makes contact.

Which is why I'm leaning towards the idea that Minnie is going to go bat-shit insane with it on.

We don't even know how Mimi first reacted when she came in contact with it.

Um, going back to the comic: In the other thread, I came up with an idea about Mimi's symbiote. Thought I'd bring it up here too just for the hell of it. Do you think that it's possible that the symbiote itself can talk/communicate like the Nergal Powers can? If so I could see the Symbiote talking to Minnie, and try to convince her to let it take her over.

After reading all the post, the only thing on my mind right now is Deadman Wonderland. And i just woke up, but yeah if you want to talk about split personalities, Shiro beats everyone. Cheerful, happy, overly friendly and helpful as Shiro, and a super badass psychopath with enough power to destroy Tokyo. Beat that Mimi.

The red essence being able to form a Trollface on its own indicates some intelligence, at the least. It probably has a primary objective that it tries to achieve, and having a host like Mimi can help it do so. Unfortunately we do not have any indication that it communicates at all, even while it wears Mimi. What we do get is that in the early days the fusion could fall apart of the host started to feel enough positive emotions (or that's the sense I got). A close or long enough bonding could possibly create a permanent demon similar to HIM.

What I'm getting from the comic is that Mimi's personality, likes, and dislikes don't really change based on her form. Her rabidly biting Junior would seem to indicate that she is the same person, and likes him about as much as she did when she kicked him in the guts and removed his head and spine from his body in HER form. Except she can't do that in her current form. No hands, you see. So she makes do with what she does have. Teeth. Nice white, polished teeth. Which are now covered in green.

Gotta agree with Xi here, Shiro was awesome and all, but her split personality isn't up there, I'd explain in the other thread if you want to know why.

I'd just like to bring up a thought I've had from a few threads ago. Him knew Mimi would fail, and counted on Mandy doing something to Mimi. He may have done this purposefully to start a war. The continuation the thought was that Him had planned for Mimi to die, and once he finds out she's not, Mandy may use Mimi as a hostage, a bargaining chip, and Him would show that he couldn't careless for Mimi's well being anymore.

I am also a big fan of DMW and Shiro, and I have to say in my honest opinion Shiro dwarfs Mimi and the Wretched Egg dwarfs HER. Especially in terms of who is more psychotic. Plus there is that reveal scene in chapter 8. Mimi never had a page that cool.

Comparing Shiro to Mimi. I've finished watching/reading DW, easily my favorite of 2013, I was introduced to it a couple months before it ended, went through it all in half a week.

I won't say too much on Shiro, seeing that it may spoil it for others, again if you want to have a full discussion you can bring it up in the other thread, one where spoilers are not only expected, but welcomed.

I can see how some may think Shiro is worse than Mimi, but I disagree. Mimi has watched her loved ones die, and has killed her own mother. She draws her powers from the 7 sins and doesn't seem to have a problem with it. Also, claiming Shiro was 'born' with a conscience, means you're either expressing an opinion I don't understand, or you're gravely misinformed. Given the circumstances, Mimi has dealt with much more emotional turmoil and physical torture.

As Ari stated, at least I think it's what he meant. Shiro's character and as was her counterpart were showcased, then the big reveal. Mimi and Her? Mimi's name wasn't even remembered until Her appeared AND gained some popularity. I won't count age as a factor since they both were children, and such a discussion would shift easily depending on one's morals.

Shiro is a lot more cheerful and happier than Mimi is. Wretched Egg killed everyone's ass, and so did Mimi ( So i going to say tie). Although i am not overly found of Ganta being the the Shiro/Wretched Egg's boyfriend (I like the two of them, but Ganta should have grown a decent spine from the shit he went through( = or > Crow's spine(BADASS))). So I am giving the Better Love Interest medal to Mimi, cause Jr is more badass than Ganta, son of Death, got a overpowered demon, and one of the few people to stand up to Mandy (and live to tell about it). I guess Shiro and Mimi both have their up and downs, but Mimi/Her will definently get her ass kicked by Wretched Egg.
